What makes the style of the Bubble sofa
- Raised quilted fabric
- The whole surface is stitched into small, even bubbles, from the back down to the base.
- Rounded volumes
- No sharp edges: arms, seat and back are full, rounded shapes.
- No visible legs
- The sofa seems to rest on the floor; the fabric runs all the way down.
- Low, curved back
- The back wraps around the seat and blends into the arms.
- What takes a piece away from it
- Smooth bouclé on rounded shapes makes a “cloud” sofa: it lacks the bubble texture. Tufting in large squares or visible legs also change the silhouette.

- Is there a dupe of the Bubble sofa?
- Roche Bobois alone makes the Bubble. Retailers sell, under their own names, sofas and armchairs in the same style: this page lists 8, from $399 to $2,969, prices read on October 11, 2026.
- What's the difference between the Bubble and these alternatives?
- Roche Bobois presents a sofa made entirely by hand. The alternatives pick up the rounded volumes, and more rarely the texture of the fabric. Check the depth: the original is a very deep sofa.
- Why does the Bubble cost $9,650?
- That's the price listed by roche-bobois.com/en-US on October 11, 2026 for Bubble large 3-seat sofa, in the fabric shown by default. The maker highlights that it is made by hand. The price changes with the size and the upholstery.
- Are these alternatives counterfeits?
- Retailers sell the products on this page under their own names, with their own designs. We list no seller offering a piece under the model's name or as a reproduction of the original. The official addresses of the original are at the top of the page.
